&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Satara state&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; was a short-lived [[Princely state]] created by the British in 1818 after the [[Third Anglo-Maratha War]] and annexed by them in 1849 using the [[Doctrine of lapse]]. The state was ruled by the [[Bhonsle]] dynasty, descendants of [[Chhatrapati]] [[Shivaji]], the founder of the [[Maratha Empire]]. The first Raja of the state was Pratap Singh who was freed by the British after they defeated Peshwa [[Bajirao II]] in 1818. [[Pratap Singh, Raja of Satara|Pratap Singh]] was deposed in 1838. His brother, [[Raja Shahaji of Satara|Shahaji]] succeeded him but died without a natural heir in 1848. At that time, the [[East India Company]] government refused to accept Shahaji&amp;#039;s adopted son as his successor and absorbed  the territory into the growing British dominion.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|last1=Kulkarni|first1=Sumitra|title=The Satara raj, 1818-1848 : a study in history, administration, and culture|date=1995|publisher=Mittal Publications|location=New Delhi|isbn=9788170995814|pages=2–3|edition=1st|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SYOSHaZnBy8C&amp;amp;dq=raj&amp;amp;pg=PR9}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|last1=Ramusack|first1=Barbara N.|title=The Indian princes and their states|date=2007|publisher=Cambridge Univ.
